He settled at rear to finish 7th on his debut in a 1200M event with blinkers at Cranbourne, then he settled third and showed no fight in straight and finished 5th in a 1423M race with sheepskin cheek pieces at Sale and broke his maiden in a 1606M contest where he jumped well from wide gate to sat handy and made steady progress late to win at Benalla. Although COLOURFUL KNIGHT was born late in his parents’ breeding careers, he has not raced many times in Australia, and with a win in just his third start, it is believed that he still has room for improvement. Half-brothers found former HK runners ALMABABY and WINNING ICEY, they both raced well in HK. By looking at his motion, the grandson of SINGSPIEL should be most suited over mile or upper in distance.
